Sayako becomes flustered with herself as she tries writing a story about her encounter with Miya in the previous episode. The next day at kendo practice, Kojiro is busy training Dan and Miya on basic drills. He assigns Kirino to work with Miya who in turn delgates the duty to Tamaki. Tamaki accepts and teaches Miya some basic principles while Kojiro-sensei and Kirino discuss Sayako’s past antics in the club. Apparently Sayako has always been a wild card with amazing athletic ability but would leave for days at a time when she became upset due to some sort of misunderstanding. Kirino even admits that given more time, Sayako could easily surpass her in skill.

As Tamaki and Nakata continue to work with Miya and Dan respectively, they are forced to evacuate the dojo when Kojiro sets off an insect bomb in the backroom. Due to the practice ending early for the day, Kojiro orders Miya to come in early the next morning for more practice. Meanwhile at Machido High’s kendo club, we get a glimpse of a very active kendo club under the tutelage of Kojiro’s senpai. The teacher rounds up his group of rowdy, snarky girls and chooses five of them for the match with Kojiro’s girls.
